Thursday was my second day with two young lads from Slough and once again I was able to secure my favourite swim at Twynersh. The first part of today’s lesson was to explain the problems we had experienced last time with the pole float being towed about by the wind catching the line between the rod tip and the float. They were introduced to the waggler float and it was explained how this would solve the problem. I then did my first knot tying lesson featuring the uni knot. The boys found this difficult and I think it will take a few more lessons to master it.
Once this part of the lesson was over the boys began fishing with the waggler floats but still using the five metre whips. Unfortunately the wind was not strong enough to demonstrate the true effectiveness of this method.
One student was still not ready to handle fish for photographs and so is not featured in this post. I hope this will encourage him to overcome his fear. His teacher was not so reluctant.
